Esta máscara, muy estilizada, representa a un personaje que porta un turbante. Ricamente adornado con aluminio repujado, sus colores son el rojo y el negro. "Esta máscara la usan unos pocos elegidos en la República Democrática del Congo. Su propósito es mantener el orden en la comunidad", dijo el artesano. Robert Nortey explica. "Estas máscaras están destinadas a ser utilizadas en ocasiones rituales o políticas para arbitrar conflictos y castigar a los malhechores".

Just beautiful...”

I just received you mask, ?Keeping Order?, and it is beautifully made. I particularly love the contrast of the red and black, and the aluminum inserts are beautiful. It is proudly hanging on my wall already with my other masks from Ghana! At this time I have 5 masks, plus 2 mini masks in my collection. This one will not be my last!
